The Problem

Manufacturing businesses are data-rich but insight-poor

Production data exists across PLCs, MES systems and paper forms — but it rarely reaches the people who need it in a format they can act on. These are the challenges we solve.

📱

No real-time OEE visibility

Plant managers relying on end-of-shift reports to understand production performance — decisions made on data that is hours old and aggregated in ways that hide the real issues.

Offline Capable Mobile-First
🗃️

Quality non-conformances on paper

NCR forms completed on paper, manually entered into systems and managed through email — with no real-time visibility of trends, no root cause analysis and slow close-out times.

Enterprise Grade Dataverse
🌐

Shift handovers lost in translation

Critical production information lost between shifts because handover is verbal or on paper — leading to repeated issues, missed targets and wasted time re-establishing context.

External Users Branded
🔧

Reactive maintenance only

Maintenance teams responding to breakdowns rather than preventing them — because there is no system connecting machine data to maintenance scheduling.

Custom UI PCF
🔗

Supplier and inventory gaps

No visibility of supplier performance, incoming inspection results or inventory status in one place — leading to production delays and quality issues that could have been prevented.

ERP CAFM API
📝

Audit preparation is painful

ISO audits requiring weeks of preparation to gather records that should be instantly available — because data is scattered across multiple systems and paper files.

  • ERP updated in batches overnight
  • Management reports compiled by hand
✓ AFTER
  • Operators log production on tablets in real-time

OUR APPROACH

Built for manufacturing. Delivered with discipline.

Unlike generic software consultancies, we understand manufacturing operations. We know why shop floor data never makes it to the boardroom. We know why quality tracking still happens on paper. We know why your ERP doesn't talk to your machines.

Every solution is architected properly from day one: real-time data pipelines, role-based security for operators and engineers, offline capability for shop floor tablets, and full documentation so you're never dependent on us to make changes.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Manufacturing-specific questions answered

Can't find what you're looking for? Contact us and we'll answer within one business day.

Do you integrate with our existing business system?

+

Yes. We build integrations with most business systems including Epicor, SAP, Sage and Dynamics 365. Your existing system keeps running whilst we pull data automatically — no double-entry, no manual transfers.

Can operators use this on the shop floor?

+

We build apps that run on tablets and ruggedised devices on the production line. Operators can log what's happening without leaving the shop floor. The apps work offline and sync when connectivity returns.

Can you build quality tracking that fits how we work?

+

Yes. We build quality tracking apps around your process — whether that's logging non-conformances, tracking corrective actions, or managing inspections. We map out how you currently handle quality issues, then build an app that matches your workflow.

Do you work with manufacturers across multiple sites?

+

Yes. We build solutions that work across multiple facilities. Each site can operate independently whilst giving you visibility across all of them when needed. Permissions control who sees what.

How long does a typical project take?

+

Most projects go live in 4–8 weeks. Simpler apps take 3–4 weeks. More complex solutions with integrations and multiple workflows typically take 6–10 weeks. We agree the timeline upfront.

What happens after you finish the project?

+

We include 30 days of support after launch. After that, you can manage it yourself using our documentation, or we can provide ongoing support through a monthly retainer. Everything is built in your Microsoft tenant, so you own it.
